She posts
a picture and you need to imagine it as a graphic for a book. You choose the
genre and book title, and then write a blurb that might appear on the back of
the book.

The
blurb should be 150 words or less (not including the title).

The
genre is wide-open.

Each
blogger should include their blurb on their own blog, and link back to this
post.

Have
fun with it. Go to the other posts and comment on the other blurbs.

You can
do fancy techy things with the photo.

(Join
in if you dare...! It sounds like fun! I think this would be a lot of fun to do
with students especially since they would be expected to write 150 words or
less!)

The Entrepreneurs

Bobby and Billy really wanted a pet dog! They begged their
parents for one but was told that they just couldn’t afford one.

One summer, they came across this huge dog without a collar
so they decided to call him Scooby Doo. Every day Scooby would be there waiting
for them and they would sneak food scraps to him.

As school time soon approached, the boys knew they had to do
something to raise money so they could bring Scooby home. They went in their
attic and found two accordions and decided they would play them on the street
downtown to raise money.

They didn’t really know how to play a real song, but people
thought they were so cute, that they would leave big bills for them. Before
long, they had enough money to bring Scooby home and their parents wouldn’t be
able to say no. (147 words)
